05D544 - Walter 3-3/4 Inch Carbide Tipped Annular Cutter 2 Inch Depth

High-Performance Carbide Annular Cutter for Hard Metals

The Walter 05D544 Carbide Core Cut annular cutter is a premier industrial tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty metalworking. Engineered with high-grade carbide inserts, this 3-3/4 inch diameter cutter excels in applications where traditional High-Speed Steel (HSS) tools often fail. It is specifically formulated to penetrate tough, abrasive, and work-hardening materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and various high-tensile alloys. The cutter features a sophisticated flute and body design that enhances structural rigidity while optimizing chip evacuation. This geometry is critical for maintaining lower cutting temperatures and preventing work hardening of the material, ensuring consistent performance even under high feed rates.

The 2-inch depth of cut offers significant versatility, allowing operators to drill through thick structural plates, pipe walls, and heavy machinery components in a single pass. The carbide tips are brazed securely to the cutter body, providing exceptional hardness and wear resistance. This allows the tool to operate at higher rotational speeds compared to HSS equivalents, thereby reducing cycle times and increasing overall productivity. The precision-ground cutting edges produce accurate, burr-free holes that typically require no secondary finishing operations. This level of precision is vital for industries such as aerospace, infrastructure construction, and heavy equipment manufacturing where tolerances are tight and material integrity is paramount.

Furthermore, the Walter Carbide Core Cut series is designed to withstand the mechanical stresses associated with large-diameter drilling. The robust construction minimizes vibration and chatter, which extends the life of both the tool and the magnetic drilling unit. By focusing the cutting energy on the periphery of the hole, this annular cutter requires less thrust and horsepower than solid drill bits, making it an energy-efficient solution for on-site machining. Whether used in a fabrication shop or out in the field, the 05D544 delivers reliable, high-quality results in the most challenging drilling environments.
